apparent that the whole business has a
nasty look. Plumb figured that the average

Superintendent Macdonald of the New
York Insane Asylum, reports that seventy
five per cent of the unfortunates committed
to his charge are foreign born persons, and
that the majority of them were lunatics
when they came to this country and were
placed in the asylum soon after their ar
rival. From which it would appear that
the old world is using America not only as
the dumping ground for her paupers, anar-
chists or socialists, but also as an asylum for
her insane. When will congress see the
necessity for putting stop to 1t all For
the industrious immigrant there is still
room, but there Is none for those classes
that are likely soon after their arrival to
find their way to the penitsntlaries, asylums
and poor houses, to become a public charge,
or to become public nuisances and enemies
by preaching false political doctrines. I'm
less immigrants can become An orleans In

Edward Atkinson, of Boston, a noted

pie, he has found by careful and thorough
investigation that In cotton requiring
capital of 100000 and turning out
$l,l00,000 worth of goods per year. the
division stands thus: The operatives re-
ceive $3.50 900 for their labor; the cost of
material, freight, taxes, etc, is $155OO0;
and only $780, 900 Is left rs the profit of the
capitalist. That can certainly not be called
an unfair division which gives to the en-
ployes nearly i've times as much as the EN-
ployer. And In cases where there Is no
profit, 1t must be remembered, the opera
tives still receive their wages, the whole

Among the appropriations by the city
council for the next fiscal year is an item of
$4,000 for sewerage. We are just little
curious to know who is going to boss the
spending of that money. The sewerage
committee? We hope not; for unless their
ideas are radically changed that $4,000 is
bound to be absurdly wasted. What can be
thought of the capacity or common sense Of
committee that will put in 20 inch sewer
to drain a piece of land not half dozen
blocks wide north and south by four or five
blocks long east and west. (at the Driving
Park only one half Of which at most will.
for years to come, be built upon! This is
saying nothing of the location of the sewer
on the gutter line Of the street, ON the side
that never will be built on, compelling 60
odd lots that may be built on to cross the
whole street GO times to get at the sewer!
We have not the figures at hand for the ca
pacity Of 20inch pipe and will not take
time to figure it out, but an i1ea Of the enor-
nous carrying capacity Of such a pipe may
be appreciated when it is shown that with
foot fall in 100 an Is inch pipe will discharge
4,O45 gallons minute, while 24-inch pipe
will, with the same fall, we'll discharge $685.
increasing the fall to 3 feet in 100 the dis
charge will be 7.Oi7 and IA. 466 per minute
respectively! Any man with good common
sense can see the size of pipe is out of all
proportion to the needs Of the piece drained,
while the actual amount of water going
into it at any one time will scarcely be
enough to keep it clean by flushing,
The fact is there is not a man on that COM
mittee, and we question if there is man IN
the Council itself, that is sufficiently an ex.
pert in sanitary drainage to be trusted with
the expenditure Of those So, 000;--we mean,
of course, in order that any appreciable
permanent good will result to the city by the
expenditure Badly constructed sewers are
worse than no sewers They are curse,
and no possible excuse can justify their con-
struction, If Ottawa has begun to build
sewers at the rate of $4,000 year, the first
thing to be done land the people should in
sist on its being the first thing done), is to
employ an expert to define plan for the
proper sewering Of the city Ga scientific
principles, which plan shall be the basis of
all work on sewers. Then the money spent
will be a permanent improvement. If this
is not first done, the taxpayers can depend
upon 1t that not one dollar in ten spent will
ever amount to anything--if il does not, in
deed, result in positive curse to them from
a sanitary point Of view.
